Goblin Collection Volume I 1975-1989: Now Selling Here

For Sale, , ,

Goblin Collection Volume I

Our most popular title! The Goblin Collection Volume One is a fantastic cross-section of Goblin soundtrack sounds, from Profondo Rosso to Dawn of the Dead and Buio Omega. If you’re a new Goblin fan this is a GREAT way to sample their diverse soundtrack sounds. Our favorites are the Dawn of the Dead tracks (naturally) and also the Buio Omega cuts. Contamination is also fun but we also can’t get enough of the cheesy 70s vibe of the Via Della Droga cuts.

Every time we show up at a horror movie convention or film festival with these on the table, they sell out. Now they’re available here–you don’t have to wait for the next HorrorHound  Weekend or Chicago Horror Society event to pick one up from us. And to all who have purchased one of these already, thanks for your support–we greatly appreciate it.

We’re trying an experiment with this most excellent Goblin Greatest Hits CD (Volume One 1975-1989). We’ve set up a Turntabling Amazon storefront to process our orders and are trying it on for size with a range of products. Everything still ships directly from Turntabling HQ here in Chicago, but when you click to buy the Goblin CD your order is processed via Amazon. Please let us know if you experience any issues or difficulties with this system.

Buy the Goblin Collection Volume I 1975-1989. This is a brand-new shrinkwrapped CD which ships directly from Turntabling.

Introducing the Roland SP-404SX: Roland Updates SP-404 Sampler

gear, , , ,

Roland SP-404SXThe Roland SP-404 portable sampler is a battery-powered phrase sampler with a built-in mic for mobile sampling and resampling–perfect for DJs who love to throw in some extra oomph into their sets with tabletop gadgets above and beyond what Tracktor or any other laptop software or mixer-bound hardware gives.

Now Roland has released the Roland SP-404SX, the update to the SP-404. It has 29 DSP effects (filter, delay, subsonics, looper features and vox FX). You also get a dozen trigger pads, three control knobs, and a Sub Pad. The sequencer offers new shuffle features and 16-bit linear sampling.

The SP-404SX is priced well under $500, so this is not out of reach for a working DJ. Got turntables? Mics? Laptop and software? Add this to the mix for your secret weapon. And could you pre-load this with a pile of vinyl samples and hit the club with a pre-programmed plan of dancefloor attack? Oh yes.

P.S. Electronic Musician has an in-depth review of the Roland SP-404SX here…if you’re tempted, have a go.

Mackie D2 DJ Mixer Demo

gear, , , ,

Yes, the name of this blog is TURNTABLING, and while vinyl records get much of the love here, our job is to cover all aspects of using vinyl including the industry responsible in part for keeping it alive over the last ten years–DJing.

In a recent blog post we covered the Mackie D4 production mixer, but if you’re budget-challenged and are considering the earlier Mackie D2 instead (or a used Mackie D2), you should have a look at this demo video from Mackie on all the features of the D2–including the firewire in/outputs, optical contact-free fader, backlit EQs and other features. Brand new, the Mackie D2 DJ mixer runs well under $1000 but used you could score quite a deal. Grab an eyeful on the vid, ignore the corny hipster-speak at the front end of the clip and marvel at the glory of all things Mackie.
